“I wanted, above all else, to be good. And I wanted the path to that goodness to be clear. I suspect that is why I excelled at math and science, where the rules are laid out step by step, where if you did something exactly the way it was supposed to be done, the result would be exactly as it was expected to be.”
― Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom

“I guess when you're not awake, you're not awake. Waking up to the suffering of people who are different from us is a long process, and has a whole lot to do with what community we belong to and whose consciousness and life experiences impact our own on a daily basis. I have a hunch I'm going to be waking up until the moment I die.”
― Helen Prejean, River of Fire: My Spiritual Journey
